The purpose of the program is to inform physicians and their office staff in NYC about the services of the Alzheimer’s Association so as to facilitate the physicians’ referral of persons with dementia (PWD) and their caregivers to the Association. Our Prescription for Care slips enumerate information about our core services – all free and non-medical. As you can see, they are designed to complement a medical prescription or stand in lieu of a medical prescription if such is the case. Ultimately, we would like to ensure that the Chapter becomes a vital resource and link to PWD and their caregivers and establish this program as a model that can be replicated nationwide.
